Code:

/sbin/mount -uw /
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce*
rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
reboot

Now you'll need to fix your graphics (EFI or injector kexts)

i tried this but it doesnīt work.

bevor or after updating? when after, can you say me how. i canīt start leopard. so i canīt use osx86tools, kexthelper or whatever.

I've been using this kernal for about a week now and idk if its just my internet but all of the sudden after I installed this it seems like my internet is going slower?

Also I just wanted to make sure but with this update it just fixes problems with applications right? like AMD users still can't use via apple updates?

apple updates is good now man.

The new kernel works cpuids while its being a kernel. its awesome and feel free to install via software update. Lawless did a 10.5.5 update via software update w/ the kernel and it was all good

If you've already tried updating, use the Install DVD's Terminal app to copy the kexts from a flash drive Volume to your Extensions folder then repair permissions and reboot using the "-f" boot flag.

EDIT: also, you only need to install one of those kexts... I prefer the AppleDecrypt.kext.
The voodoo kernel does not have a decrypter built-in so this takes care of that.

Voodoo Kernel has now been released.

Thanks MS. I love the new surprise features... no more bad CPUPM, the symlink being created on install, and the editing of the com.apple.Boot.plist file. Nice little touches! keep up the good work.

Well, for me this final release is a backstep...
I returned to RC that is great for me (and my Pc).

I installed the kernel and kexts with pkg inside the dmg.
At the restart hanged for a long time about 3 min... (36 secs with RC release) then was default at 32bit (i know i can change it,but all was perfectly working for me at 64bit) and then i had a KernelPanic (the first i could see from all voodoo's releases).
Restart, all ok, then another KP with Safari (the other one was in system pref. panel).
So, restart and hanging forever searching for an IOKIT... DEAD.
Restart in windows, restored RC Kernel, changed apple.Boot.plist to default with TransMac and all was great again.
I'll wait next release... thanks anyway. :rolleyes:

I think this release was a great step forward. if you have problems with it then you should install it manually. I have had no problems with this kernel (yeah 32bit at first but thats an easy fix in the .plist file). I still have the CPUPMDisabler kext even though I know I don't need it (it states in verbose mode that it is found as a bad kext and not loaded). I'm also now using it all via Boot-132 so there are a lot of duplicates by using the System.kext file. I don't really need it though so I'll probably just bypass it.

Gipo - are the kernel panics occurring during the startup time or after you are running Leopard for a while?
